Employment Screening Services

Because you can’t always tell by looking.

50% of all resumes and applications contain false information

33% of all business failures are due to employee theft

18% of all violent crimes occur in the workplace

Can you afford to be wrong?

Employers who conduct background screening greatly reduce the risk of
employee theft, fraud and embezzlement. Background screening may reveal
past criminal behavior and save your company thousands of dollars by helping
you prevent a bad hire. Additionally, it is important that you protect your
employees and clients from sex and violent offenders. Background screening
sends a message to your employees, vendors, and clients that you are serious
about safety.

NCS has an extensive list of screening options and reports for your
pre-employment screening. Please see the sample of a few of our services
below. If you would like to see all of our services or would like to set

For our New Mexico customers…
We have custom New Mexico searches available. Please contact NCS if you have any questions related to what is included in your search package. Not all searches automatically include the New Mexico statewide criminal record information. Follow up county criminal searches or a search that contains a New Mexico statewide search is recommended.

National Quick Check

$19.95

The National Quick Check Package provides a compiled report saving time and money by bundling services. This powerful report will help identify unknown risks, improve compliance, and help reduce liability.

This search typically provides instant results; however, verification of possible database records may take 1 - 5 business days. Some jurisdictions take much longer due to county clerk delays.

**Verifications of records are an additional cost and are not included in the original search price**

----------------------------------------

National Quick Check searches all criminal databases available to NCS. It searches based on First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth (D.O.B.). Some jurisdictions do not provide D.O.B. In such case, NCS will display results based on a First Name, Last Name match. Sources of records are subject to change without notice. NCS does not guarantee that data for all states or jurisdictions is included in this database search. Please review our database Coverage Area for more coverage details.

NCS makes every effort to maintain updated records and to add new sources for records as available, but as with all public records, we rely on the completeness and accuracy of each state’s records. Even though the National Quick Check is a “national” criminal history search, it is not a substitute for live criminal court record searches. NCS recommends completing additional criminal court records searches as part of your background screening process.

County Criminal Search

$16.95

The County Criminal History search is a manual, physical examination of a person’s criminal history report from the county seat in any U.S. county. Our team of experienced researchers will provide a comprehensive criminal search containing information on felony and/or available misdemeanor offenses located at the county seat for the previous 7 years at the county level. Depending on the state, some county courts have both an upper (felony) and lower (misdemeanor) court. In this case, the upper court is the court that is searched. If a lower court is needed, please contact NCS.

Each name and jurisdiction is a separate criminal record search.

Turn around time is usually 5-7 business days or less, but may be longer depending on what time of the day you submit your search request.

SSN/Address Locator

$3.95

National SSN/Address Locator is primarily used to identify aliases and counties where applicants reside. This search gathers information from a multitude of venues such as credit bureaus, public records (real property) and moving records from mailing houses. NCS' Background's National SSN/Address Locator searches credit headers and association algorithms in over 20 billion records, which uncover recent relocations as well as historical addresses.

This nationwide search provides summaries of the applicant's name, name variations (such as maiden or previous names), date of birth, current address, and phone number. Our National SSN/Address Locator is a comprehensive tool to identify 30-50% more counties.
